This is really exciting for folks interested in increasing the speed of access to their Office 365 tenants. Net net:
- Customers can now establish private, managed connections to their Office 365 tenant
- Network performance can be a predictable 1Gb or 10Gb depending on configuration
- Circuits have 2 active physical connections with the only 99.9% SLA in the cloud industry
- Both Azure & Office 365 may use the same network connection – again, unique to the cloud industry
- Available Q3/2015
Here’s our networking partners:

We’re pleased to announce that starting later this year, Office 365 customers will be able to use Azure ExpressRoute to establish a private, managed connection to Office 365. This is something our customers have been asking for since ExpressRoute launched last year. Currently, ExpressRoute provides customers with dedicated network connectivity through a private connection from their network to Microsoft Azure, and we’re excited to extend the same option for connectivity to Office 365.
